AnonD-844232, 20 Jun 2022Of course I understand .. I used to have it.. and stopped. ... moreLol, I don't do that. Once I put the card inside the phone, it stays in it forever. The only time I'll remove it is when I get a card with a larger capacity, that's all.

AnonF-1006353, 20 Jun 2022I stated my usecases dozens of times here. Exactly, why wou... moreNo i wouldn't carry on.. And I wouldnt because I have and want android phone which has no sd support.. And no you won't carry on all the time.. Again you have enough internal storage to make your sht and when you finish you get home and you will copy it to external storage
This ia how majority ppl do it
You will lose or lost phone you will lose your entire sht u have in phone
Not good

Those hi res audios are meant to be stored on sd card, so sd card is still vital for some

To those people who always claim that microSD card is outdated and irrelevant, you definitely forgot the time when the whole Google servers were down, including Google Drive servers*.

AnonD-844232, 20 Jun 2022What the hell you talking about hanging and some logic?? yo... moreI stated my usecases dozens of times here. Exactly, why would you take an external ssd with you everytime, when you just can have your entire file library plus spare storage for vacations and events locally available on a microSD, which you can easily move to the next phone. Not having to rely on network connections. (A NAS or external SSD or PC can still be used for backup purposes or a more complete collection though.)
All in all, that's the smart choice for people with an actual brain, instead of some c0rporate sh1ll AI that advocates for anticonsumer practices in an online phone community, just to push this lame cloud trends even further to generate more pr0fits.
Now stop telling people what hobbys or profession they have or should not have and how they have to use their storage...

I presume you don't go driving all day just to deplete whole battery on phone.. ? You driving max 15 or 20 or 30 mins to work ? you charge phone overnight and while you at work ?
You really don't need AA on cable when it works via bluetooth ? simple and I think nobody introduced you to usb-c splitter? 🤷♂️
Just some people doing such drama over not having SD card or hp jack and you don'e even really using it that much
I have android with hp jack and even without .. no problems whatsoever using usb c adapter to HP jack .. and I even sense that usb c audio is kind of better than from HP jack

Older apps not using Google's crippled API will have 95 to 150 MB/sec writes, 150+ MB/sec reads, and microsecond latencies.

Anonymous, 20 Jun 20225.overload electric billsI have the personal server but the syncing is totally worth avoiding. A 1TB microSD card holds:
- Detailed maps (roads, trails, buildings, contours, hillshade, Wikipedia) for all of Earth
- Entire English Wikipedia
- Enough FLAC music for a month long vacation
- Backups of camera (real one) files from a month long vacation
I could do without a microSD card if phones hadn't stagnated on storage 10 years ago.
